Description
Salvia ‘Hot Lips’ will add colour to any cottage garden border, containers or bedding schemes. The elegant bi-colour blooms protrude from the slender stems of this bushy, hardy perennial plant. However, when the weather is hot, the bi-colour can sometimes grow in solid red or white instead, which makes for some added interest in summer months. Bring into a sheltered or protected spot in winter to ensure the best life. Height: 90cm (35″). Spread: 60cm (24″).
Plant salvias outdoors in moist, well drained soil, and situated in a sheltered spot in full sun.
Supplied as a professional size plant in a 2L pot, all plants are health checked before sending with a Scottish plant passport. Depending on when in the season you buy, they may be getting ready to flower, in flower, or have passed flowering. If bought in winter the foliage may be dying back, but the plants will re-grow the following season.
Ensure the plant is watered in, and regularly after initial planting until new growth is seen which generally indicates the plant has started to root into the new position.
Please feel free to contact Borringtons prior to buying with any questions about your prospective purchase.
